Replicable
And what happens if the arts aren't created by people anymore?
My tongue is bleeding words I cannot swallow
And I weep for the heart that once beat now hollow.
The devil isn't what I thought or who I hoped.
There's something to prove between doped
Up dreamers and stomped on fools
Unravelling like the last threads on the spool.
/
And I am drinking from day old coffee
Thinking that this skeleton key
Will be enough to destroy the marching army
Advancing on the river of human thought for glory.
Words and art and breath and memories
Have no place in computer-run realities.
/
I used to sleep on the blackest night beach
Where the stars and my dreams sat within reach.
I could taste them soft and sweet on my tastebuds
But now it seems my throat is coated in mud,
The mistake of believing humanity
Was something of a mystery.

This poem in particular centers around my personal distaste for AI being able to write, draw, act, whatever, and have it passed off as human. Something doesn't sit right with me about it. It should be its own category. It feels like a combination of cheating, plagiarism, and laziness. But more on that later.

Couldn't agree more! I hate that AI is getting so sophisticated and a lot of folks are just copying and pasting and passing it off as their own work/words/art. So not on. Nicely worded and wonderful poem, Silver Serpent 💕😊
